The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 10 1. Talking nonsense in a serious manner 8 times

"Now that you've returned to the Marquis's residence, half of the master's words have come true. I wonder if you can tell fortunes?" Qin Yezhong began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

As a former general, he knew the principle that all's fair in war, so he fabricated a lie to achieve his goal.

Both sons looked at Qin Yezhong.

Father, it has to be you! Old ginger is spicier!

[What? The master could even predict this? Great, I can finally admit it.]

“Father, what the master said is true. I once opened my third eye in a dream, and ever since then I have had the ability to tell fortunes.”

"In my dream, there was an old deity who told me that my family was facing a calamity. Only by constantly telling fortunes and helping others avert disasters could I help my family overcome the calamity."

Qin Wanying also talked nonsense in a serious manner.

The other four, of course, didn't believe it. The two older brothers thought to themselves, "Like father, like daughter."

Qin Wanying stood up solemnly and faced her parents: "Father, Mother, I beg you to allow your daughter to go out and tell fortunes. I will wear a veil when I am out, so that no one can see my face. I will also not reveal my identity as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family."

[My identity as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family must remain hidden. If the male and female leads were to discover my abilities, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to the Marquis's family.]

Listening to Qin Wanying's thoughts, Qin Yezhong felt that his youngest daughter was indeed very thoughtful.

Qin Yezhong: "This is as you wish. I will also assign you a few more bodyguards to protect your safety."

Qin Wanying was overjoyed to hear that her father had agreed, and she quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Father!"

Qin Yezhong was overjoyed to see his daughter so well-mannered, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No need to thank me, you are only thinking of the safety of my Marquis's mansion."

Now that Qin Wanying had revealed her ability to tell fortunes, Qin Yezhong wanted to ask directly what the future held for the Marquis's mansion and how all of this had happened.

But when I opened my mouth, I found that I couldn't say anything.

Could it be that these things cannot be asked, and can only be told by Wan Ying herself?

He tried to ask about his own and his sons' fate, but he still couldn't bring himself to say it.

What kind of bizarre rule is this? You can't even express your true feelings, and you're not allowed to ask about your own fate.

The others at the table were naturally very curious about their own fate and wanted to ask Qin Wanying, but they found that they couldn't get any information out of her.

The Marquis's family met a tragic end, and my parents are old; I don't want them to worry. I will remind them of crucial matters and guide my family to make the right choices.

Sigh, it seems Wan Ying isn't planning to tell them everything at once. The group was a little disappointed.

If you can't ask about your own family's affairs, can you ask about other people's affairs?

"Wan Ying, you can tell fortunes. Can you tell what Ling Dang's fate is?" Yang Xiu Rong asked, pointing to a serving maid. This maid was her confidante.

After saying that, he was also startled. Could it be that he couldn't get answers from his own family, but could get answers from others?

Or perhaps, the fate of those who can hear one's innermost thoughts cannot be directly inquired about?

"Yes." Qin Wanying nodded respectfully.

She looked at Lingdang for a few seconds, making Lingdang a little embarrassed.

"You've recently met a man who's very good with sweet talk. Don't be fooled by him. He's a womanizer and will even use your money to take a concubine."

Upon hearing this, Lingdang's eyes widened like bells.

She did meet a man a few days ago; he was a deliveryman who came to the Marquis's residence to deliver goods. He used sweet words to coax Lingdang into wanting to marry him.

I never expected him to be this kind of person.

No one in the manor knows about this. The Second Miss has only just returned home, how could she possibly know? Could it be that the Second Miss truly possesses the ability to predict the future?

“If you marry him, he will think your mother’s illness is too expensive and will kill her.”

Bell gaped, breathing rapidly. How could this be? How could he do such a thing?

“He borrowed ten taels of silver from you a few days ago, saying he was going to pay for his mother’s medical treatment, but actually he went to a brothel to see girls. Send someone to keep an eye on him at the brothel these next few days, and you’re sure to spot him.”

Lingdang was stunned when she heard this. Ten taels of silver was a lot of money for a servant like her; she had saved up for a long time by being frugal.

In fact, the lady treated her very well, giving her a generous monthly allowance and often rewarding her with gifts.

However, her mother was in poor health and often needed money for medical treatment, so she hadn't saved much money. She also couldn't always talk to her mother about her situation.

Other maids could buy themselves jewelry, and even second-class maids could buy new clothes, but she didn't buy herself anything for a whole year.

She had finally saved up some money and wanted to buy herself a new dress, but her lover asked for it, and she lent it out without thinking.

Lingdang was kind-hearted and felt that she was in the same situation as her, since her mother was also sick, so she could empathize with her. She also hoped that her lover's mother would get better.

Unexpectedly, the lover's mother was not sick at all. He took the money to a brothel to find girls and ended up killing his mother.

Bell didn't want to believe it.

Qin Wanying saw through her thoughts.

"If you don't believe me, have someone go to the brothel to keep an eye on him these next few days, and you'll definitely see him."

Yang Xiurong was also very angry when she heard this.

Lingdang did not sign a contract of servitude; she served in the Marquis's mansion as a hired worker. Because of her good nature, efficient work, tight-lipped nature, loyalty, and consideration for the master in everything she did, the lady kept her by her side.

Originally, the lady shouldn't have interfered with Lingdang's marriage, but she quite liked Lingdang, and the thought of her being deceived by a bad man made her angry.

He immediately made the arrangements, instructing the brothel owner to keep an eye on him. The brothel dared not disrespect the Marquis's residence.

As it turned out, when they went to the brothel to ask, they found out that the man was currently choosing girls there.

They returned and reported that they had overheard the man saying something like, "When I have money, I'll take a prostitute as my concubine."

Lingdang finally believed the Second Miss's words and felt utterly hopeless, tears welling up in her eyes.

Yang Xiurong was furious.

She said to Lingdang, "Lingdang, do you want me to stand up for you and get your money back?"

Lingdang wiped away her tears and said bitterly, "I beg you, Madam, to do me justice!"

So they had two servants bring the man back from the brothel.

When he was led into the Marquis's mansion, his legs trembled like bamboo poles.

After all, this was a marquis's residence, not a courtroom. No one asked him to kneel, but he knelt down before the marquis's wife, trembling.
